Fearing Number Three

[monkeybard]

No.  Not a phobia of the number itself.  It's just that I just learned that Madeleine L'Engle passed away.  So...

Luciano Pavarotti
Madeleine L'Engle
???

We're doomed to lose another person very soon who created beautiful and amazing things.  (Okay, I'm not a fan of Pavarotti the Man, but Pavarotti the Tenor? Wow!)  I have a horrible suspicion of who it will be.  I desperately, desperately hope I am wrong.

sad...who's your suspected 3? or do you not want to jinx it?

[monkeybard]

I won't say, although it occurred to me that #3 probably won't come from the same sphere as either of the others so I think my feared suspect may be safe. ::knocks on wood::

Oh NO! :(
Did you follow the book club thread at all? She was basically what started it all. :( :( :(

[monkeybard]

Yeah, I know. :(

I know. I hadn't heard about it until I saw it posted on a board I frequent. Very sad. Makes me wonder what other famous person will kick it in the next couple of days/weeks. :(

[monkeybard]

I saw it on K-Bob's blog. So sad. :(

Yeah. Someone from flim/tv/theatre? A visual artist? A dancer? Someone from the creative fields, though...

Isn't it always like that? Hmmm....

[monkeybard]

Yeah. They always come in threes. Which makes me wonder... WA lost (if you call it that) a well-known crazy Republican last week, and I saw today that we lost the state's carnivore specialist. :( I hate it, but I wonder which big Washingtonian will go next. This is a helluva September, eh? Damn.

Were you right?

Jane Wyman just passed away at 93. :( I saw that on another board and did a google on her and a telly station in NYC has pronounced it. I'm waiting for the big networks to start announcing it.

Re: Were you right?

At least now we can stop wondering who it'll be. Remember the bumperstickers during the Reagan Era: "Jane Wyman was right."? ;)

Actually, we already did. The former state Democratic party leader died a week before the Republican one. Both women, both first of their gender to lead their parties in the state. Go fig.

[monkeybard]

She did?! Must've happened/been reported while I was out of town. Usually I see at least the front page of the paper, and that would've been on page one. And again, now I can stop wondering. Let's hope we're done for a while, eh?
